Viva Mexico! That seemed to be what people were screaming when they watched Canelo Alvarez become the undisputed super-middleweight king.

The 31-year-old has cleaned out the division by beating Caleb Plant and now the Guadalajara native is the one holding all the belts.

It was a must watch fight and even Dana White was seen watching it during UFC 268 as the promotion's president revealed he had $100,000 on the Mexican to win by knockout.

And for becoming undisputed, the biggest names in boxing offered their congratulations to him, while Mike Tyson, who was ringside in Las Vegas, already seemed sure Canelo would deliver.

"He has proven himself to be the best of a generation," Tyson said ahead of the match.

In the space of 11 months, he has become the WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO and Ring magazine champion and as for his next move, it won't be until May.

"My body needs rest," he said and he's not wrong having battled his way to greatness in such a short space of time.

Josh Taylor, the undisputed light-welterweight champion was among the first to welcome him to the 'club'.

Manny Pacquiao, meanwhile, insisted boxing is in 'great hands' with Canelo leading the way.
